WILLOW GLEN>>Regard Preschool of Willow Glen has been acquired by Action Day Schools. Both schools have campuses on Lincoln Avenue. Established in 1991, Regard enrolls students ages 2-6, while Action Day, which opened in 1975, enrolls children from infancy to age 5.
“We are thrilled to add the Regard Preschool campus to the Action Day Schools family,” Action Day Schools president Cathy Jelic, a longtime Willow Glen resident, said in a statement. “We look forward to working with the Regard team to create a seamless transition for families and provide even more opportunities for children to learn and grow.”
“The decision to close Regard was not an easy one. However, I do recognize that this is the right time to begin my retirement,” said Julie Rymer, the preschool’s founder and director. “It has been an honor and a privilege to work with so many wonderful Willow Glen families.”
This acquisition is part of Action Day Schools’ ongoing growth strategy. For enrollment information, parents can contact Action Day Schools Enrollment Concierge at Enrollment@actiondayschools.com or 408-244-1968, ext 13. To enroll at Action Day Schools, visit www.actiondayschools.com.
